I could have read this in one sitting if I didn‘t have so many obligations!

CindyMyLifeIsLit Some of my students read this book for a lit circle unit and lost their MINDS over it! It was awesome to see them get so captivated and worked up over a book! ❤️❤️ 4mo
Judybskt @CindyMyLifeIsLit I love that!! 🩵 4mo
LiteraryinPA I read We Were Liars back when it came out. I really liked it but I don‘t remember it that well. Do I need to reread it before reading this one? 4mo
Judybskt @LiteraryinLawrence I don‘t think so. 4mo

I waited so long because I didn‘t think this one could be as engaging as we were liars… I was wrong. I was in tears by the end.

As good as the first! If you liked We Were Liars, this is a must-read. As a child of the 80s, I enjoyed the time period. I loved learning of the family dynamics, secrets, and loyalties. This is Carrie's story. Hopefully, the author chooses to write Bess and Penny's story, too.

Rather than the intense, suspenseful premise of it's predecessor, this novel is a good introspective study of this wealthy family & their skewed value system. I found it quite intriguing & enjoyed the character work, though it doesn't pack the same punch. The characters are all unlikable, which is a testament to Lockhart's writing. The vibe is haunting & sad, but also just made me shake my head at the entitlement & ridiculousness of these people.

#Wickedwords The book I‘m reading has a map in the front. That usually means that I am going to have to understand the lay of the land during my reading and it usually makes me nervous cause I don‘t want to think too hard while reading 😂😂

I devoured this just as quickly as the original. The story of the earlier generation of sisters spending their first summer on Beechwood Island since the drowning of their youngest member, it deals with ghosts, regret, grief and trying to find your place in a family.
I am not sure whether it is the writing or the glimpse into this world of privilege, expectation and tradition, but I was hooked. Oh to be the generous hostess Tipper!

Chelsea.Poole Right?! Tipper was over the top, but I‘d love to attend one of those parties. 🍋 2y

Interesting prequel to “We Were Liars.” It definitely shed some light on this family. I‘m excited to discuss it with my teen today. She has already finished and is ready to dissect it! 🥰 #audiobook #Audible

The kind of YA I would have loved as a YA. As an A this was a smidge predictable but ultimately a good rich people problems diversion from real life. I could do worse.

Long weekend reading binge. We were liars blew my mind, so reading this prequel was a given. An idyllic setting that is anything but? The most non YA books, they are about coming of age but so much more

My favourite cocktail is a French 75 or 76 ( depends if it‘s Cava or champagne - really all bubbles are good bubbles ) I am celebrating the official start of summer, last day of school today until September 6th. Here‘s to a normal-ish summer where we all refill our tanks and can bolster our resiliency aka no drama summer

sarahbellum Love a French 75! 🥂 2y
mcctrish @sarahbellum they are the best 2y

I never read YA, but made an exception for the prequel to We Were Liars. It was just the book I needed for escaping normal life at the beach. This is set during the teen years of the parents of the teens in We Were Liars, taking place on the same family island, but this time in 1987. The descriptions of the parties and food — matriarch Tipper‘s incredible hostess abilities — were a huge plus for me! The storyline was a bit out there, but a pick!

We Were Liars is one of my favorite books, so I obviously had to grab this one! Just picked it up from my library and I can‘t WAIT to start. 🤓

3.5 ⭐

This story follows the Sinclair sisters and their summer on the island. More secrets are revealed. More lies are told. But the Sinclair are good at pretending.

Mehso-so

3.75 stars- I didn't like this one as much as We Were Liars. The MCs were mostly unlikable and the supernatural element was weird and unnecessary. It was still a good book but nowhere near as good as the first.

Day 3: finished the fifth book for #MarvelousMay readathon ~ it was so good!!! Presented as a ‘prequel‘ to We Were Liars…which was great, but this one is even better!

Loved this so much, that I read the whole thing in one night, & I‘m pretty sure it cured my reading-slump (finally!). This was better than the first book, and it answered a lot of questions that the first book left me with. I also find Carrie to be a far more interesting narrator than Cadence was.
